Only 5 flight hours from Paris, in a working-class suburb of Tel Aviv, two people meet.
He is a bred-and-born Israeli and she is a Russian immigrant.
He is a taxi driver and she is a music teacher.
He has no aspirations. She gave up hers long ago.
He is afraid of flying and she is about to fly away.
What are the odds of them ending up together?...
